Intertextuality is the relationship between texts, especially literary ones. Three types of intertextuality are obligatory, optional, and accidental. Obligatory intertextuality is when the writer deliberately invokes a comparison or association between two, or more, texts. Optional intertextuality is when the intertextual relationship that if recognized the connection will slightly shift the understanding the connection of the text. Accidental intertextuality is when readers often a text with another text, cultural practice or a personal experience, without there being any tangible anchor point within the original text.
1. The first picture at the top there is originally a picture of Barack Obama in the blue and red filter with the words "HOPE" at the bottom as a way to promote his presidential campaign. The one I have inserted their is The Simpsons' parody version of this poster with Homer Simpson in Obama's place without the "HOPE" on the bottom. 2. The second picture up there is an original painting by Grant Wood, depicting what he believed people in the American Gothic times would look like if they were living in an American Gothic home. What I have inserted is a picture of two minions from the movie 'Despicable Me' in the place of the man and the woman in the original painting. 3. The third and final picture is originally an album cover for The Beatles' album 'Abbey Road'. I would say it's one of the most well-known and recognized album cover, whether or not someone has listened to The Beatles before. The one I have submitted is The Simpson's parody version of that album cover, but with their family instead of The Beatles.
